10. Deploy Client / Server Applications
A myriad of Client / Server configurations can be implemented. Before you start deploying any Client / Server application it is essential to understand:
- What pieces of the application belong on the server and what pieces belong on each client.
- What are the requirements of the runtime environment on the respective client and server.
- How the client is intended to communicate with the server.
- How are updates to the client and server going to be managed.
- If you have appropriate LANSA licenses to install.
- Scenario? Network Client? Web Application?
Some of the common Client / Server scenarios that can be implemented are:
10.2 SuperServer Application using Built-In Functions to connect to server
10.4 SuperServer Application connecting to an IBM i server
11.2 Data Application Server with Windows Application Database
